RECRUITINGChronic change in Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) score
Measured using the standardised Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) score ranging from 0-60 with a higher score meaning a better outcome
Time frame: Change from baseline to 12 weeks
Chronic change in Colour Trails Test score
Measured using the standardised Colour Trails Test, with score based on completion time (0-240s), number of errors, error type, and number of prompts with a shorter completion time and lower number of errors and prompts indicating a better outcome
Time frame: Change from baseline to 12 weeks
Baseline acute change in Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) score
Measured using the standardised Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) during the first exercise session, score ranging from 0-60 with a higher score meaning a better outcome
Time frame: Change from before (0 hour) to 1 hour post exercise during week 1
12 week acute change in Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) score
Measured using the standardised Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) during the last exercise session, score ranging from 0-60 with a higher score meaning a better outcome
Time frame: Change from before (0 hour) to 1 hour post exercise during week 12
Baseline acute change in Colour Trails Test score
Measured using the standardised Colour Trails Test during the first exercise session, with score based on completion time (0-240s), number of errors, error type, and number of prompts with a shorter completion time and lower number of errors and prompts indicating a better outcome
Time frame: Change from before (0 hour) to 1 hour post exercise during week 1
